Tired but wired? Your stress response may be the missing piece.
The stress hormone, cortisol, is meant to rise and fall in a steady rhythm throughout the day. When that rhythm drifts, your energy, sleep, mood, and weight can all feel it at once. The Stress & Energy Reset measures your rhythm with a simple at-home saliva test, then you meet with Dr. Resnick for 45 minutes to understand what it means and where to start.

Do any of these sound familiar?
Most people who visit this page recognize more than one.
You’re tired all the time, even after sleeping all night.
You crash in the afternoon, then can’t fall asleep at night.
You’re gaining weight even though you’re doing the right things.
Your thinking feels foggy and it’s harder to focus.
You wake at night and can’t get back to sleep.
You feel more anxious, wired, or on edge.
Fatigue, poor sleep, brain fog, weight gain, and feeling wired may not be separate problems.
Why the shape of your cortisol curve matters
Your stress response runs on a daily rhythm, and cortisol is the hormone that sets its pace. It’s meant to rise shortly after you wake to get you going, ease down through the afternoon, and settle at its lowest point at night so you can sleep.
When nobody looks at the whole rhythm, each change tends to get its own fix: a sleep aid for the sleep, a new eating plan for the weight, another supplement for the energy.
The Reset measures the whole curve, with 4 samples across one ordinary day.
Research on daily cortisol rhythms has linked abnormal cortisol curves with poorer results across several of the health measures studied. Your own curve shows where your rhythm stands today.
Cortisol levels normally change over the course of the day.
Everything in the Stress & Energy Reset
An at-home saliva test kit
Everything you need ships to your home, with simple instructions. You collect 4 saliva samples across one ordinary day, which show your cortisol rhythm and your DHEA-S level.
Specialty lab analysis
You mail your samples back to a specialty lab, which measures your cortisol 4 times over the course of the day, along with your DHEA-S.
A private 45-minute session with Dr. Resnick
Dr. Resnick walks you through your results, connects them to what you’ve been feeling day to day, and answers your questions. About 2 months later, you have a 15-minute check-in to see how you’re doing.
Your results and a guide to understanding them
After your session, you receive an email with a copy of your lab results, a guide to understanding your curve, and a list of vetted supplements with discounted prices and free shipping.

Your kit arrives in about 4 to 5 days, you collect your samples on one ordinary day and mail them back, and the lab has your results ready before you meet with Dr. Resnick about 3 weeks after booking.

Questions people ask before booking
Do I need to take the Functional Health Assessment first?
No. The Reset stands on its own. If you have taken the assessment, you're encouraged to mention your result during your session.
What is DHEA-S?
DHEA-S is a hormone made mainly by your adrenal glands, the same glands that make cortisol. It's often described as a counterbalance to cortisol. Looking at the two together helps show how well your body is keeping up with the stress it's been under over time.
What does the Reset cost?
$497, paid once when you book. That covers your test kit, shipping, the lab analysis, your 45-minute session with Dr. Resnick, your results by email with a curve-reading guide, and a 15-minute check-in about 2 months after your session.
Is this a diagnosis? Will I get a prescription?
The Reset is educational and does not constitute a formal medical consult. Dr. Resnick explains what your results show and outlines practical next steps. He doesn't diagnose, prescribe, or provide medical treatment through the Reset. Many people bring their results to their own doctor.
Why saliva instead of a blood test?
Saliva makes it practical to collect 4 samples across one day in your own home. It lets the Reset show the shape of your cortisol rhythm rather than a single moment of it.
My bloodwork came back normal. Is this still worth doing?
Absolutely. A standard panel usually captures one point in time. If you still don't feel like yourself, looking at your rhythm across a full day adds information a single draw can miss.
What do I need to do on collection day?
Choose a regular weekday at home and follow the timing in your kit instructions. The instructions also cover what to avoid before each sample so your results are accurate.
What if I need to reschedule?
Your booking confirmation includes a link to change your session time. Your payment carries over to the new time, so you won't pay again.
Is the Reset available where I live?
The Reset is currently available in the United States, with a few exceptions because of state rules on direct-to-consumer lab testing. We cannot offer it in California or Maryland. In New York, the lab can process your kit only if you collect your samples outside of New York and sign a short waiver confirming that you did. Everywhere else in the United States, the Reset is available as described.
Will I be asked to buy anything else?
No. The Reset is complete on its own. At your check-in, Dr. Resnick will ask how you're doing. If further investigations make sense for you, he will explain the options. Whether you continue is entirely your choice.
You don't need to have this figured out before you start
That’s what the Reset is for. 5 measurements, an ongoing conversation with a physician who looks at the whole picture, and a clear place to begin.
$497, all included. Educational interpretation session. No prescriptions or medical treatment provided.
